To the Honorable Mayor
Members of the City Council
Persuant to resolution and instruction
from the council, we advertised for bids on a Street
Sweeper for the City.
These bids were received on July 8th, at
2 P.T., and the result of the bids have been tabulated
and all conditions pertainin to the purchase of the
sweeper have been carefully investigated.
On last Friday, our present sweeper broke
down completely and is in the shop now for major re-
pairs, wiich will cost $75.00 to 4100.00.
Our last month's city bills reflect the
fact that the repairs and maintenance of this present
sweeper, are extremely heavy and we recommend that
the Durchase be made for sweeper for prompt
delivery, and no more money be spent on the broken
down sweeper.
Respectfully submitted,
Board of .blic Affairs.
